From Dawn to Decadence - 500 Years of Western Cultural Life,
1500 to Present by Jacques
Barzun a reviewer writes: In the last half-millennium, as the
noted cultural critic and historian observes, great revolutions have
swept the Western world. Each has brought profound change--for instance,
the remaking of the commercial and social worlds wrought by the rise of
Protestantism and by the decline of hereditary monarchies. And each,
Barzun hints, is too little studied or appreciated today, in a time he
does not hesitate to label as decadent.
To leaf through Barzun's sweeping, densely detailed but lightly written
survey of the last 500 years is to ride a whirlwind of world-changing
events. Barzun ponders, for instance, the tumultuous political climate of
Renaissance Italy, which yielded mayhem and chaos, but also the work of
Michelangelo and Leonardo--and, he adds, the scientific foundations for
today's consumer culture of boom boxes and rollerblades. He considers the
16th-century varieties of religious experimentation that arose in the wake
of Martin Luther's 95 theses, some of which led to the repression of
individual personality, others of which might easily have come from the Me
Decade. Along the way, he offers a miniature history of the detective
novel, defends Surrealism from its detractors, and derides the rise of
professional sports, packing in a wealth of learned and often barbed asides.

Cultural
History of India
by
A. L. Basham -- "This book, edited by the
well-known historian A. L. Basham, presents a comprehensive survey of
Indian culture, covering such aspects as religion, philosophy, social
organization, literature, art. architecture, music and science. It
includes a special section dealing with the influence of Indian
civilization on the rest of the world, as well as details of the political
history of the region to provide a chronological framework for the
non-specialist. Contributors include such eminent scholars as
Radhakrishnan, Burrow, Das, and Spear"
India:
A History "The history of
what is now India stretches back thousands of years, further than that of
nearly any other region on earth. Yet, observes historian John Keay, most
historical work on India concentrates on the period after the arrival of
Europeans, with predictable biases, distortions, and misapprehensions.
One, for example, is the tendency to locate the source of social conflict
in India's many religions--to which Keay retorts, "Historically, it was
Europe, not India, which consistently made religion grounds for
war."
Taking the longest possible view, Keay surveys what
is both provable and invented in the historical record. His narrative
begins in 3000 B.C., with the complex, and little-understood, Harappan
period, a time of state formation and the development of agriculture and
trade networks. This period coincides with the arrival of Indo-European
invaders, the so-called Aryans, whose name, of course, has been put to bad
use at many points since. Keay traces the growth of subsequent states and
kingdoms throughout antiquity and the medieval period, suggesting that the
lack of unified government made the job of the European conquerors
somewhat easier--but by no means inevitable. He continues to the modern
day, his narrative ending with Indian-Pakistani conflicts in 1998."
